I take it you know/have met "Richard"?

Why did he have to have MY name??? Dammmmm!!!!!!

For the record, I'll let the Mazda Miata by - and then follow him to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Since it is track season again, I thought I would dust off this jewel of a classic for all of the newer members to the R8 track world.

LMFAO!!

We have 40+ members at Autobahn CC with Spec Miatas and they all run in a series of races. They put down some fast lap times.

Is that video based on a real person?

[Bodhii]

It's based on several people. If you track very often you will meet this guy in one form or another fairly regularly. Or maybe you will see a bit of him in your own mirror.

The main thing to remember is that on the track, your car will not really appear very impressive to the experienced track rats and instructors. Believe me, they have seen everything. What will be impressive is the way you approach learning the art form of hi-performance driving.

At the track no one is going to be impressed if you pass cars with a smaller performance envelope. But if you don't take learning the driving skills very seriously, you WILL regularly be passed by those cars with a much smaller performance envelope, by good drivers who learn and learn and learn some more. So use instructors when ever possible. Even after you have been checked out for solo driving. I still do it regularly too.

Learning hi-performance driving skills is forever a hugely humbling experience. There is ALWAYS someone faster, with better skills. So always wear your humility and your smile proudly at the track. The track is much more about you and your skills, and NOT about the car you drive. So leave the ego at home, listen to your instructors and have fun.

This is probably one of the best pieces of advise I've ever heard.
Most eloquently put.

Cheers to it!

In any thing you always get some one who thinks there god like

Never had a instructor ever I tend to attend track days with the same person who is very good drifter and time attack driver so I do get decent advice and follow there lines.

Me and my evo friend always get put with hatchbacks. I don't mind 95% get out the way and let us put fast laps down. I think with driving your always learning and feeling. I do find it hard to go from drifting to grip especially if its the same track.

Good stuff. This video is a tribute to all of the world's stuck ups.
